Hello<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to continue a closed thread that was started at this URL: https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/topic\/webp-conversion-support\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I\u2019ve been using the Imagify plugin for several years to optimise images. The problem is that I can\u2019t get it to work nicely together with the Better Image Sizes plugin. I tried a few approaches with AI using the bis_image_created<\/code> hook, but I either got no results or ended up with a 500 error. Do you know any way to make these two plugins work together?

    Here\u2019s the code that doesn\u2019t work for me:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          ]);
          
          \/\/ Log errors if optimization failed (optional)

          error_log(sprintf(
            'Imagify BIS auto-optimization exception for %s: %s',
            $bis_file_path,
            $e->getMessage()

        }
      }

      add_action('bis_image_created', 'wp_bis_imagify_auto_optimize', 10, 2);
    }<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    2. Do I even still need Imagify, now that the https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/images-to-webp\/<\/a> plugin is available? If my images in WordPress are not optimised enough, this plugin will always convert them to .webp and create a well-optimised version. Maybe the Better Image Sizes + Images to WebP setup is good enough as a solution?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18748445","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-optimization"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18748445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18748445\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18748445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
